Make sure its NJ legal. Otherwise, you'll need to get a FID to purchase handgun ammo (and, seemingly, any ammo these days). Off topic, you didn't happen to be at Huachuca?

Range 14 is the civilian range at Ft Dix. There are some other Range 14 threads, so, just do a search and there is plenty of info available already. I've found that its my range of preference, and I like the drive out there myself.

Understandable, but would it really be necessary considering this is a competition show? (Like Survivor as people have mentioned.) Someone is going to get bounced every week, and the show will probably highlight the individuals when there are maybe the final four or three, but why waste the time getting to know someone when they'll be gone within the next 20 minutes? Deadliest Catch and those types of shows revolve around the same crews (for the most part), so its necessary. Plus, if you're really interested, look up the names on the official page and then look at their bios on the internet. Most of the pro guys are established already, etc. This show is simply about their skill, and I'm fine if they leave it at that.

Welcome. I love 590's myself.

Hello and welcome

I have a DMS-1 as well (though, not mounted currently). Its in the 200-300 range, though you would have to factor in the mount as well. DMS-1 is pretty good glass for the money, and 1.1x4 variable power (not true 1x, not exactly sure what is the lowest magnification).

The official page on History.com only has excerpts up (bios, interviews, previews). The full episode is at Hulu though.

Its on Hulu: http://www.hulu.com/watch/154276/top-shot-the-long-shot Might need an account to view (free), but just watched it there myself.

RIP

That's the thing that bothers me the most... with how the current administration has handled the wide array of foreign relations, I doubt that the US would become too involved even if some things were to lead to another. It bothers me because I do feel that it is our [the US] responsibility to stand by an ally such as Israel. Now, if we wanted to start some game theory, yea, I suppose counting our "B's" wouldn't be a bad idea right now

I'd be surprised if the organization trying to run the blockade actually accepted this support from Iran. If they did, it would cause some dire consequences for everyone-- especially those they're trying to "help." Than of course, people have waged conflict for less.

The other issue, especially with the DD lite 12.0 rails is that you need to remove the barrel nut. I don't know if that's possible if you already have the FSP and a pinned muzzle device.

Yea, I heard about it too. As for those guys, I really don't know what to think. I don't agree on much of any principle of what they do. Though, I feel that a lot of what is done on that show is more for ratings than their beliefs. Otherwise, what separates them from other eco-terrorists? Not much.

The permits are a social contract, so I don't know how anybody could justify limiting the amounts of paper that could be given out. The individual going out and breaking the law (OGAM) is where the problem would lie... like any other crime!

I've heard Jamestown and the surrounding habitat is pretty spooky as well (to go along with Gettysburg).

http://www.hulu.com/watch/153807/movie- ... -stairwell 'Rec 2' comes out in the next few weeks. Its the foreign film that 'Quarantine' was based off of. Here is a short clip from Hulu... I think there have been other short clips posted prior, but, regardless, this is looking like it'll be pretty darn good.

I specialized in signals, signals math, signals theory, etc. When in garrison, there were a lot of looong graveyard shifts, and my colleagues and I would discuss all sorts of weird stuff to pass the time. One of them was the phenomenon of ghosts, and, more so, white noise. Our theory is based around the fact that everything in this world is made up of energy, which can mostly be translated through signals. Every frequency continues to travel, though most are ineffective signals (the Doppler effect being an obvious example). How it relates to the phenomenon of ghosts is that if something were to occur that would induce certain frequencies (like moments of anger or sheer terror), there is a chance that those traces of the frequencies could be "imprinted" on the surrounding area (depending on a "million" of variables of course). Its not an exact science, and maybe its what those Ghost Hunter guys do (I've never watched their shows), but we found it to be possible. Though, I'm sure an engineer or someone of more SME could chime in. As for those ghosts that know about you, and that crazy spooky stuff (like ghosts appearing at the exact moment the person is dying on the other side of the country, etc), who really knows? The human brain uses something like 10% of its potential. Humans only see/hear a percentage of the frequencies, as well as a percentage of the known and possible dimensions. Most understandings of life after death are explained through religion (which is completely fine, I don't want to dispute that). So, how about the different things humans just do not have the capabilities of exploring right now? So, ghosts? I say 'maybe.'

I'd love to go back to the origins of civilization; ancient Sumeria, Hammurabi, Ur, etc. It'd be interesting to see how everything starts [and really the beginning of the end in a sense]. I also wouldn't mind the 1940-1950's, except the fact that I'm not white-- and it was a pretty racist era. I'd probably get confused for Japanese, and thrown into an internment camp-- and when the Korean War comes around (in 1950), probably get brutalized again somehow. So, scratch that, 40-50's not a good time period. 10 SEPT 2001... gosh, things would be quite different, maybe. Something else would have probably occurred though, and the dominoes would've been lined up to fall the way they have I suppose. It'd be some '12 Monkeys' stuff going on.

Ha, according to the in-game message, if you input any type of cheat code, it immediately nullifies that save game, to include progression and trophies/achievements. Developers are making games way too easy these days anyway, what's the point of cheat codes? My quick advice of the game is to get to rank 5 of the hunting challenge (I believe its that rank), which lets you purchase the Buffalo Rifle. That rifle is 1-shot kills on pretty much anything that moves (to include grizzlies). Also, don't buy the Mauser pistol because as soon as you can, you do a mission that gives you the "high powered pistol" (looks like the 1911)... though, you might as well for completion purposes.

The fact that many PD's don't have PT tests more frequently always bugged me. Having one once a year is good, but how about once a quarter? People down range in the military (at least the Army with my knowledge), even between patrols and operations still have to make the time for a PT test-- regardless of the weather, etc. And if they bolo, they're disciplined as in any other situation (garrison in this case). I'm not disrespecting the institution either, instead just voicing some concern.

My mistake, that's because that picture is from a 2007 sinkhole that also occurred in Guatemala. Here's video from the 2007 incident (note the time stamp): And a photo article from NG: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news ... photo.html The 2010 incident:

I think this picture shows a better perspective

I did have the buy an aftermarket mount for it to be at the proper height (co-witness or 1/3). I use the Daniel Defense mount made for the Aimpoint micro optics (http://www.danieldefense.com/?page=shop ... uct_id=147). American Defense makes a very nice version as well, which utilizes a spacer to change between co-witness and 1/3 (http://www.americandefensemanufacturing ... roduct/46/) Of course Larue (http://stores.homestead.com/Laruetactic ... bok?no=150) And there are others, like GGG, etc. The DD mount is rock solid, though, as Caine also pointed out, it would be better if I had a QD mount. I don't really plan on switching them out though, so, its not a huge concern.
